Chapter 665: People Go High
Ever since he knew the resumes of Ye Jiayi and Tong Wei, Shi Xiaodong has been very curious in his heart, he doesn't understand how such two excellent people came to work in a private enterprise like Changda Group?
During this time, Shi Xiaodong had to meet with Tong Wei several times a day, in addition to exchanging work matters, the rest of the time was chatting, back and forth, the topics of interest to both sides have been talked about many times, and they are not only very familiar with each other, but also almost to the extent that they have nothing to talk about.
Because they know each other, and both of them are from science and engineering, they speak more bluntly, and they don't have too many scruples, Shi Xiaodong finally couldn't help asking: "Dr. Tong, haven't you been working in Changda Group?"
"Yes, I've only been at Changda Group for five years," Mr. Tong said, adding to his previous employer.
"Yo, the unit you used to work for was very powerful! It was a very famous materials science research institute in China. Shi Xiaodong was surprised.
"It's okay, the chief engineer of the academy at that time was an academician of the Academy of Engineering. ”
"Mr. Ye came back from studying abroad and has he worked in other institutions in China?" Since it was a small talk, Shi Xiaodong certainly had to try his best to satisfy his curiosity.
She is a well-known manufacturing management expert in China, and before working in Changda Group, she worked as a department executive in a Fortune 500 multinational company. However, she came to Changda Group relatively early, almost 20 years. ”
"Your resumes are eye-catching enough!But Dr. Tong, I don't know what to ask, I don't know if to ask?" Because it involves the other party's **, Shi Xiaodong is still cautious.
"As long as it's not a matter of principle, but it's okay to ask, it's not that serious. ”
"Actually, my question is very simple, the research institute you used to work for was so famous, why did you work in this kind of private enterprise?"
Tong Wei seemed to have anticipated the question that the other party was going to ask, and he smiled indifferently, "No matter how famous the previous unit is, how much does it have to do with me?"
Shi Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, it has nothing to do with me." The feeling of our classmates is that the more famous the scientific research institution, the more fierce the competition, and the more serious the phenomenon of seniority ranking, which has caused a huge waste of scientific research talents!"
"You're right! As a scientific and technological person, you can't get projects, and most of your resources are in the hands of those so-called people with high moral integrity, how do you feel?"
"Needless to say, of course it's very depressing! But have you ever encountered these problems with your education?"
"What peculiar do I have? There were six or seven doctors who entered the Institute of New Materials at the same time as me, and among our group of people, my situation is quite good, a few of them have not even been the project leader, and it is said that there are still two people who have not been able to solve the problem of senior professional titles, because they have not done influential projects over the years, and they have not been able to get their hands on scientific research results, which is a hard bar for promoting senior professional titles. Speaking of the past, Tong Wei still remembers it vividly.
"Because I didn't like that kind of environment, I jumped to Changda Group?"
"It's not that simple," Tong Wei gave a brief introduction to the other party about the situation at that time, "It should be said that there is just that kind of opportunity, and it is logical." ”
"Jumping from such a well-known scientific research institution to a private enterprise requires not only great courage, but also an open mind, otherwise you would not have been able to make that kind of decision, and I think you should have experienced a complicated trade-off. ”
"The trade-offs are certainly indispensable, but they are not as complicated as imagined because of the project

The reason for the cooperation, at that time I had a full understanding of Changda Group, this is a very formal joint-stock enterprise, the management is standardized, the enterprise structure is clear, the business objectives are both grandiose, and realistic, the boss is of high quality, with practical actions to respect scientific and technological innovation and scientific and technological talents, and trustworthy. These are the reasons that ultimately led me to work here. Tong Wei lost no time in promoting the advantages of Changda Group to Shi Xiaodong.
"After arriving here, what do you think is the difference between the scientific research environment of the enterprise and the original unit?"
"My feeling is that as long as enterprises support scientific research and development activities, under the premise of sufficient funds, the scientific research environment is completely created by scientific and technological personnel, because the purpose of enterprises to recruit R&D personnel is to let them do this work. In my opinion, after our efforts, the current scientific research environment of Changda Group is not worse than my original unit at all, and even better than my original unit in terms of hardware. ”
"Yes, I already have some feelings about what you said, in the initial YHM amplification experiment, for the required instruments and equipment, as long as the purchase list is proposed, Mr. Ye has always been a green light. On the other hand, in our unit, if the laboratory wants to purchase an instrument and equipment, it often needs the approval of multiple leaders, and it is very strict at all levels, and there is a complete lack of trust in front-line scientific researchers. This is the first time Shi Xiaodong has complained about the unit leader in front of outsiders.
This can also be understood, after all, the unit's scientific research funds are limited, and it is difficult to obtain funding for general projects, and government funding is mainly used to ensure the scientific research funds for so-called key projects. Dr. Tong understands this very well.
In this way, as long as the economic benefits of enterprises are good, R&D funds will be more lenient than scientific research institutes. ”
"It's not necessarily the case, it still depends on the corporate culture and the boss's philosophy. In reality, there are quite a few private or private enterprises with very good economic returns and bosses who make a lot of money, but they only care about putting money in their own pockets and have no long-term plan for the development of enterprises, let alone investing huge sums of money in scientific research and development, and they even have to find ways to deduct the remuneration of external scientific and technological personnel, not to mention the scientific research environment and atmosphere. Of course, the vitality of the short-sighted enterprise is not destined to last, and naturally it will not go too far. ”
That is to say, only those enterprises that have a long-term plan and realize that scientific research and development play an important role in the development of the company can establish a good scientific research atmosphere. ”
"Yes, Changda Group has done a very good job in this regard, the executives of this enterprise have long been aware of the importance of technology to the physical manufacturing industry, in the first ten years of enterprise development, they mainly introduced technology, and later realized that in order to make enterprises get the power of sustainable development, we must establish our own science and technology development center. In order to enhance the ability of independent research and development, they create conditions, fully support scientific research and development activities in terms of funds, do everything possible to introduce talents, solve the worries of scientific and technological personnel, and let them concentrate on scientific research, such enterprises are rare. Dr. Tong spoke eloquently.
"Dr. Tong, from a state-level scientific research institute in the system, to this private enterprise, the salary and benefits should increase a lot, right? After speaking, Shi Xiaodong smiled slyly.
Tong Wei played a dumb riddle, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places, this is the life principle that most people will follow." ”
"Dr. Tong, what do you think is the difference between working in a private enterprise and working in a large scientific research institution in the original system?"
"What are you referring to?"
"Self-feeling, or social status. ”
Tong Wei thought for a while, and asked very sharply: "Shi Gong is now a scientific researcher of Jianhua Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and he belongs to the system of serious people, sitting with me, do you think you are superior to me?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
What is your social status and what position do you hold at the Institute of Kinhua Medicine?"
Shi Xiaodong realized that his words might have offended the other party, and he hurriedly explained: "Dr. Tong, don't be careful, I didn't mean that, what I said just now was very reckless, I apologize to you." ”
"Shi Gong is too worried, there is nothing inappropriate in your words, and I don't need to be careful, just answer your questions with specific examples, don't think too much. Originally, there are only the two of us in this room now, I am in a private enterprise, you are in the system, I don't know if you have a sense of superiority, but I don't have any sense of inferiority! As for social status, as long as I want, I have already had honorary titles such as committee representatives, but Mr. Guan of Changda Group is not keen on those superficial things, so we don't care at all. ”
......
Through more than half a year of contact and exchange, Shi Xiaodong has a general understanding of the internal situation of Changda Group, and this company has left a good impression on him.
Two months later, the industrialization test was completely over, and Shi Xiaodong spent another half a month summarizing the test data and submitting the test report.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the next step is to prepare for the construction of industrial production equipment. To be on the safe side, Ye Jiayi suggested organizing a market survey to find out the real demand in the market in order to determine the scale of construction of industrial production plants.
According to the provisions of the cooperation agreement, the market research should be jointly implemented by Changda Group and Jianhua Pharmaceutical Research Institute, perhaps unwilling to bear this part of the cost, or afraid of trouble, Director Peng of the Foreign Cooperation Department of Jianhua Pharmaceutical Research Institute, pushed the task of market research to Changda Group, "Mr. Ye, we will not participate in this matter, you can do it alone." ”
"Why? The cooperation agreement stipulates that both parties must participate in major events, but Director Fei Peng thinks that market research is inconsequential and dispensable?"
Lao Peng repeatedly denied: "No, no, no, market research is very important, but we, as scientific research units, are not good at this work, it is precisely you who often deal with the market, and you are familiar with market research, so we will not send people to participate." ”
Because the other party was unwilling to participate, Ye Jiayi had no choice but to organize the staff of relevant departments of Changda Group to go to the pharmaceutical market in several large areas of China to conduct on-the-spot inspections on the market demand of YHM. However, as Lao Peng said, Changda Group has already laid a good foundation, and market research is indeed not difficult for them.
In less than a week, the information obtained by all parties was fed back, and after the information was summarized, Ye Jiayi decided to convene a joint meeting attended by relevant personnel from both sides.
After receiving the notice, Jianhua Pharmaceutical Research Institute decided to appoint Shi Xiaodong and Director Peng to attend the meeting. At the meeting, Ye Jiayi reported the results of the market research, and based on this, proposed the construction scale of YHM industrial production equipment, and also agreed on the next work plan.
The meeting lasted only one day, and because there were other matters, Lao Peng left Changda Group the next day, while Shi Xiaodong stayed, because the design department had some technical problems that needed to be communicated with him in detail.
During this period, in addition to communicating with the design department, Shi Xiaodong went to Dr. Tong's office as soon as he was free. Tong Wei is the technical director of the whole company, and also serves as the technical leader in the field of new materials, there is a busy work every day, seeing that Shi Xiaodong comes too often, he does not treat him as a guest, and often after saying hello, he buries his head and continues to do his own thing.
Sitting on the sofa, he picked up a material science magazine next to him and flipped through it, Shi Xiaodong stood up and approached Dr. Tong, as if he had something to say to him.
"Shi Gong, are you in trouble?" Tong Wei raised his head and asked.
"Dr. Tong, what do you think Changda Group plans will be in the future in the field of pharmaceutical research and development?"
